two years back, there was a test transmission of TravelXP-4K in 91.5E Measat satellite in C band. it only lasted for 2-3 weeks, as far as i remember. the best thing was that it was available as an FTA during that test period.

So it means that the 4k telecast will be available in India and the subcontinent?

Yes the broadcast will be available in Indian subcontinent. But mostly it won't be a a free to air channel. So won't be useful for the c band users in India. There is only one 4K channel currently available as FTA in that Measat 91.5E, all other 4K Channels are encrypted mode.
Regarding the Indian DTHs, we can't expect a 4K channel currently, in this post-TRAI scheme era. Let's be hopeful and wait
